Easily Defeats the Mayflo oWeF.
The ThistIe's Prospects.
New York, September 16.-The
American yachts Volunteer and May
flower again started this morning to
sail the first of the three trial races
that are to decide which of the yachts
shall defend the American cup against
the Scotch Thistle. The wind was
bowling through the rigging twenty
five miles an hour, and the Thistle,
which was accompanying the two con-
testants, rolled great deal in the
heavy sea.
THE THISTLE OvERMATCHED.
An interesting clinch took place be-
tween the Thistle and the schooner N.
S. Lockwood on the way to the light
ship, in which the Lockwood appar-
emily showed that the Scotch visitors
speed is greatly overestimated. The
Lockwood, at the Romer Beacon, was
a mile and a half behind the
Thistle. She gradually over
hauled the foreigner until
finally, over the bar, both vessels were
sailing on even terms. There seemed
no question but that the Thistle was
sailed for all she was worth. as her
sails were full all the time. The VoluE>
teer crossed the line first, and the
Mayfower three minutes later.
THE VOLUNTEER LEADING.
The Volunteer at IL O'Clock, less
than two hours after starting, was q
little over mile ahead OF the May
flower and Thistle. The wind at the
time was blowing twenty miles an
hour. Fifteen minutes later the Vol
unteer was still gaining steadily on
the Mayfower; the Thistle fast falling
behind.
VICTORY.
The Volunteer won the yacht race
by about two miles,.
THE THISTLE BADLY MANAGED.
The handling of the yacht Thistle in
tO-day's race was of such kind
during the first half of the race as to
give no idea of what she could do.
After that the Scotch yacht was
sailed for all she was worth,
and under the conditions. was
outsailed by both the Mayfower and
Volunteer. The Volunteers time was
hours, 20 minutes and 49la seconds,
and the Mayhower's hours, SO min
| utes and 81 4-5 seconds.

THE GREENwELL AFFAIR.
NEW NORTHERN ROAD.
Work Already COmmenced-Its
Probable Route.

SAN Francisco, September 16.-A
railroad man of this city, who has just
returned from an official visit to Fres-
no, claims that the San Francisco and
San joaquin Valley line has actually
commenced work in the TETON Pass.
ROUTE OF THE ROAD.
Starting from Rogers, on the Allan
tic and Pacific, the road will run about
thirty miles in southwesterly direc-
ton, intersecting the Southern Pacific
at or near Rosamond, and forming the
base of a railroad triangle, of which
Mojave will be the apex. Then it will
take a northwesterly turn, and for
about fifty miles there will be some
heavy work, the worst, in fact, on the
whole route. The line is said to be
staked out on both sides of Tu-
lare Lake, but the eastern side
will no doubt be chosen in coming
north, although it will lead the road
within ten miles of the Southern Pa
cific in some places. Above Tulare
Lake the road will run almost due
west for about twenty miles and will
then cross the San joaquin river and
proceed along its western bank for
some distance northward. The old
survey of the San Francisco and At
lantic line running by way Of Fire
baugh, Hills Ferry and Grayson will
be adopted, with some notifications,
and then the road will wind up
through the Contra Costa hills be-
tween Byron and Lathrop to Antioch,
which will be the terminus.
Is IT FOR THE SANTA FE?
"The question now arises, has this
company anything to do with the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe? l
believe it has," said the gentleman.

ATTEMPTED ARSON.
A Sensational story From OrO-
vile.

Vile.
SAN Francisco, September 16.-A
Chronicle special from Oroville, Butte
county, says: The day before yester-
day a young man named Burchard
was driving a COW along the country
road when the cow suddenly ran out
around the thick bushes and towards
the fence. The driver quickly fol-
lowed, when he discovered lad of 16
or II getting on a horse near by, and
in the dry fence a fire had just been
started.
DAMAGING EVIDENCE.
The lad was barefooted and there
were barefooted tracks up to the fire
and back to the house. Burchard ac-
cused the tad of setting the fence on
fire which he denied and replied: "The
same man that burnt Frank Green
we'll out set this fire." Burchard find
ing it impossible to stamp out the fire
rode with all possible haste to give the
alarm. Every man in the vicinity
came promptly to the scene but the
fire had burnt too fast. 1t burnt the
fence and vineyard and only by des-
perate efforts were two dwellings
saved. The fire was fought for II
anxious hours before it was stopped.
The young fellow is under arrest and
is in jail.
THE GREENwELL AFFAIR. .
A barn containing wagon, buggy,
driving animal and other property Of
Frank Greenwell was burned ten days
ago and since then he has twice mar
rowly escaped assassination. One
bullet passed through his coat and on
the second time one passed just over
his head and struck the door in front
of which he stood. Whether the lad
is the attempted assassin is not known
but his remark when discovered leads
to the belief that he is guilty of start
ing both fires.
Greenwell is fine young orchard
list, brother of our County Treasurer
and no cause of i'll will is known.

About the Size OF Boston.

A laughable story is told at the ex-
pense of q Boston gentleman who came
with party of excursionists to the
coast. When the Postonian had been
duly busted and all traces of travel
carefully removed from his immacu-
late broadcloth and shining beaver, he
turned to the affable porter with be-
nign smile and vouchsafed: well, /
suppose you want something for your
trouble;" and drawing out his portly
wallet he took therefrom two bright
new pennies, and, with the air of a
man who was doing rather more than
was expected of him or the occasion
demanded, presented them to the por-
ter. A look of puzzled establishment
overspread the features of the African,
as nothing smaller than the tive-cent
nickel circulates here; but as soon as
he regained speech he passed them
back with the remark: 1--WE has no
use for them here, sah!" "Oh," re-
piled the frugal New Highlander keep
them, keep them; you may go East
some time. San Francis letter.

The San Juan Pie.

The San Juan pie is by no means OF
ancient origin. The centennial year
ushered the stranger in, and ever since
it has been looked upon in the same
category with the poem beautiful
Snow" That is to say, the patentees
of each have taken to the brush, and
do not acknowledge their progeny. AS
built at our hostelries, pies are war
ranted to keep in any climate and are
fire and burglar proof. They are some
times inclosed by barbed-wire fence
to keep out the Cattle, but otherwise
are said TO be harmless enough unless
partaken of too freely by strangers un-
acquainted with the customs of the
country. A tenderfoot loaded with our
best brand of pie is always subject
for the surgeons knife. If he survives
the operation he is said to have become
acclimated. The foundation for this
unique edifice sprung from happy
thought of the patentee, while singing
"'Tis But Little Faded Hour" and
the balance of the structure was COM
pleted by entered apprentices, who,
installing the designs of the master
builder, filled it in with ten-penny
nails, scrap iron, and other tropical
fruit. The plans and specifications of
the first structure have been handed
faithfully down until even to this day
the signs, passwords, and grips of the
original pie, like the poor, are always
with us. High livers, who are old
timers, daily with til. luxury, and are
the best patrons of our drug stores,
hence the crying demand for compound
cathartic pills. As self-binder and
reaper it has no superior outside of
newly made cheese, and will stick
closer to you than the friend of your
girlhood. To the unsophisticated with
in our gates We say beware of the San
Juan pie when it is loaded. 1t is more
to be dreaded than the business end of
mule or the track of the deadly snow
slide. -Ourdy Solid MuldoOn.

The NaIse and the Wolf.

A Nurse, who was trying to quiet q
Crying Child, threatened, unless it
hushed up pretty quick, to throw it to
the Wolf, who is proverbially supposed
to be lingering at the door OF the poor.
1t happened that there was a Wolf
prawling around in the vicinity, aud
hearing the expression of the Nurse
took it in dead earnest and waited q
long time for the child to be thrown to
him.
His own supper was waiting for him,
yet he stayed, believing that a change
of diet would be good for him. Friends
came along and requested him to dine
with them, but he declined. He had
an engagement to attend a banquet
that night with some congenial Wolves,
but he let the hour slip by. And there
were the customary free lunches at the
saloons-he skipped them all.
Finally, when it was too late to get q
bite anywhere, and the Child wasn't
thrown out to him according to prom
Use, he tumbled. There probably new
er was Wolf so mad and hungry as he
was when he finally sneaked off home
in the gray of the morning, cursing the
perfdy of woman.

The Rows Answer.

There is usually reason to be found
for doing what we desire. On the
other hand, there are plenty of argu-
ments to prove that the same line of
action may be injurious to other people.
One day q teacher told her scholars
that it was wrong to chew tobacco !;
when a small boy, with an important
air, replied that he had seen fellow
chew tobacco because his teeth ached,
and stoutly averred that it was not
wrong for any one to chew tobacco if
his teeth ached. This seemed to please
the scholars very much, and the teach
er was at first sorely puzzled to know
how to answer this stunning argument
At last she said to the boy: Horace,
if girl should have the toothache.
and want to chew tobacco, what would
she do?" Horace scratched his head,
and then said resolutely: "She ought
to have the tooth pulled" Thus our
pet vices become our remedies, the
while we direct our neighbors to the
dentist round the corner. Youths

A Dish for n King.

The Jambalaya is del cious Creole

good tender chicken and cut it up into
neat joints, dip these into egg and

fat, just as you would oysters; when
they are delicately Drowned take them
out and place them in the center of a

spoonfuls of butter, little 1t and
pepper. six Jumps of sugar and tea
cupful of rice. Let these co gently
until the rice is tender; the rice should
not be too dry nor yet too moist, but
stiff enough spoon to stand in it.
When done remove the o3ion and serve

AhsOrnfiOn of Water.

The statement that all the water in a
plant or tree is due to absorpt on by
the roots, while nearly true, is not
strictly SO. Duchartre concluded from
some wel.-devised experiments that the
leaves are incapable of imbibing water
or it's vapor, and for twenty years
psychologists accepted and taught this
doctrine. But few years ago his ex-
periments we're re Gated in England,
and it was found that he had been led
into error, and that leaves can and do
continually absorb vapor when there is
more of it without than within them,
as every one sees who observes the re-
freshing influence of shower, or OF
humid after dry Vick's Magazine.
